5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD Player, August 21, 2008

By	H. Ongaro (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the best CD players I've used. I listen to a lot of Books on Tape and this player picks up exactly where you leave off even if you stop it to do something else for awhile. It's fairly good about playing scratched CDs and has not jumped while I have been working out in the yard or walking with it. The ear phones are OK but get bit irritating after wearing them for a time. If you are looking for a good CD portable player without the radio, this is it. It is pretty light on battery use also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Along For The (Bus) Ride, June 16, 2008

By	David A. Cohen "Musical guy" (Jackson (Hole) WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this to while away the 40 minute bus ride to work. It's a great little machine. Simple and straightforward, compact and easy to operate. The battery life is good. I'm at about hour 10 and still going strong. Actually the battery insertion is not the easiest, and the earphones that come with it are not very good; mine were broken on the second day (mysteriously, a wire poked through the earpiece) so make sure you have your own. But as I said the player works great, and the battery life is good. As for the battery insertion - actually the battery removal, take the innermost battery out first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disabling anti skip vastly improves the sound, September 7, 2008

By	Audiophan (North of Boston, USA) - See all my reviews

When I first began listening to a CD I was not impressed with the sound of this player as it seemed somewhat veiled or recessed. I played with some of the functions, such as the Mega bass boost, which basically ruined the sound by drowning it in bass, then I tried using the AVLS automatic volume limiter - a function I can't ever foresee using.
I found my answer through a careful read of the instructions regarding "G protection.
By canceling the anti-skip function the sound VASTLY improved. Since I do my listening in "non" active mode, I'm not jogging or wrestling while listening to the music, this listening mode is the perfect one for me.
To disable or enable the G mode, press the off button, then press and hold down the fast forward button then press and hold down the play button. Wait a second or two and look in the display window for G-off or G-on. You will then notice a dramatic improvement in the sound quality.
As for battery installation, it took me about 20 seconds to install a pair of Lithium batteries. A child could do it blindfold.
Pair this player with a decent set of headphones ( I bought Sony MDR-150) and you've got quite a nice sounding setup. In normal mode, which I use exclusively (meaning no bass boost and G-off) the sound is rich, extended, clear (meaning surprisingly transparent for a player in this price range) and most importantly, it does not pain your ears during long listening sessions.

Overall, I am quite happy with this Sony.
